Raising the bar/ recovering from the bar

So you always knew you were destined to be a fashion designer... you just don't have the time... or resources... or effort.... whatever.
Well if hand bags are your forte and design is your dream you've found a destination in Freddy & Ma. From purse style, to your choice of hundreds of patterns, to the color of your side panels, Freddy & Ma lets you design without the hassle!
After you've designed your perfect, custom made hand bag, why not head on over to Turtle right here in Boston. Next Thursday they're sponsoring a "design your own flip-flops" workshop with local artist Buoy! With so many ways to add a personal touch to your style, you can be sure to stand out from the crowd this summer!

On a different note, the whole blogging/ pay-per-post thing is really heating up. Lets face it, you like reading blogs because you get an independent, untainted introspective into someone's life and interests. I love fashion, have taken courses in fashion and have worked as a fashion writer. I love independent designers and people who are trying to make it in the industry- mostly because I can live vicariously through them as I sit amongst piles of paper.
I love sites like Dlisted because Michael K is hilarious and doesn't hold back on anyone or anything. Anyway rest assured I don't get paid to post and clearly there are no ads on this site. Once you go down that road, it stops being fun.... plus, lets be honest, I'm way too lazy to keep up with that sort of thing.
